Owensboro Metropolitan Area

The Owensboro Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of three counties in Kentucky, anchored by the city of Owensboro. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 109,875 In the 2010 Census the population was 114,752. Owensboro is more closely defined as a part of Kentuckiana than the neighboring Evansville Metropolitan Area even though at present all three counties are in Kentucky. The reason for this is that the primary city, Owensboro sits on the Ohio River directly across from Spencer County, Indiana, which is likely to become the fourth county in the metropolitan area. Perry County is also like to become part of the area as well.

Famous quotes containing the words metropolitan and/or area:

    In metropolitan cases, the love of the most single-eyed lover, almost invariably, is nothing more than the ultimate settling of innumerable wandering glances upon some one specific object.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)
